Simple reluctance motor drive system

A simple control scheme of the reluctance motor is presented. The use of only real time current waveforms and a position sensor enables to realize a simple reluctance motor drive system. The controller of the DC brushless motor driver keeps the MMF phase angle constant at any load torque. The controlling of the motor torque can be done only by controlling the voltage. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is much more practical than that of the conventional one. The proposed control scheme is also applicable to the control of the switched reluctance motor
